Grim Tales XML Modlet

Grim Tales 7DTD XML mod.
 ​

A small collection of short stories that give a glimpse into the lives/deaths of other survivors.

The Storylines introduce unique items mid-late game.

    1) Missing Patrol Car - break into a number of Cop Cars without lockpicking to engage.
    2) Mary's Revenge - triggered at a 3000 Kill Streak (Configurable). Kill Streak resets on death.
    3) Pigeons Carry Diseases - pigeons: some people hate them and some people absolutely adore them.
    4) Interloper - keeping your eyes and ears open can lead to interesting things.
  

Current Version 1.1.1 Download: https://github.com/JoeSloeMoe/GrimTales

Recommend starting a new game.

Notes:
 - You can increase or lower the Kill Streak requirement for Mary's Revenge. See killStreakTarget in buffs.xml, under the line <!--PLAYER CONFIG VARIABLES-->

 - These are not Trader quests or missions. They occur as you play the game (mid-late game).
 - This is an XML mod and some of the storytelling is bounded by the capabilities of the XML framework.

 - The Pigeons Carry Diseases storyline isn't about infection.
 - The mod has not been tested in a multiplayer environment. Feedback on this is welcome.

 - 7DTD V1.x compatible.

License:
The code is free to use and commented with that in mind. A thank you would be nice if you reuse the code/patterns.

This modlet comes from the Survival No Trader mod:

Hi ahtawulfa,

Yes, its V1.2 compatible. The update added a chunk to the Mary's Revenge storyline and I'm very glad you get a kick out of the mod.

Cheers

 
Added to a hosted v1.2 stable MP session. The “IsBloodMoon” xml tag in “Buffs” broke my friend’s game by console spamming. Definitely avoid MP usage. Great mod though from what I was able to experience before having to remove it from the list!

Hi Lupoispro

Thanks for the MP feedback. 

I'll fix this. I can sub a different requirement in instead to stop spawning during bloodmoon. Do you have a rough idea what it was spamming?

My main hesitation for MP is the events - I dont know how well they might function within a group (distributed environment). Will upload a change tomorrow.

cheers

That's the error. The vanilla IsBloodMoon requirement has been broken in MP forever at this point.

 
Version 1.1.1 upload with fix for IsBloodMoon requirement multiplayer error.

Also a couple other code tweaks for better story context and player interaction.

cheers
